Jeremy Clarkson – who is hosting Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? tonight (Sunday, May 5) – didn’t exactly receive glowing praise from Chris Tarrant when he first took over as host of the show.
Chris, of course, hosted the show between 1998 and 2013. When the show returned in 2018, Jeremy was the new host.
Chris Tarrant on Jeremy Clarkson hosting Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?
In 2018, Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? was rebooted with Jeremy as the host. However, it doesn’t seem as though Chris was a big fan of the reboot.
During a chat with The Daily Star in 2019, Chris was of the opinion that Jeremy would never be able to recreate the “buzz” he experienced on the show.
He also admitted that he’d missed the first season of the reboot as he was in France “fishing”.
“And no, not to get away from it, that was just where I happened to be,” he added.
Chris was also asked whether he was “bitter” over having been overlooked by bosses to host the reboot.
